Word origin
The word 'curtly' originated from the Middle English word 'curteis' meaning 'courteously'. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent a brief or blunt manner of speaking or writing. It has been used in English language for centuries to describe interactions that are short and sometimes perceived as impolite.
